Smooths out the bass

T-Spec's 3-farad capacitor will help your vehicle's charging system keep up with your high-powered sound system. When the power of the bass threatens to overwhelm the electrical system, this cap quickly provides a jolt of stored power to keep the beat pounding and your headlights from dimming. And it recharges quickly, so it's always ready for the next hit.

Displays the voltage

A bright digital meter displays your system's voltage, so you can monitor how things are going and avoid overtaxing your vehicle's charging system. We recommend this 3-farad cap for sub amps delivering up to 3,000 watts RMS. Distribution-type connections on its top simplify the wiring of the capacitor and your amplifier. Warranty: 1 year.

Excellent!

So I have upgraded my stereo a few times replacing parts and pieces to get everything just how I want it, never really put much thought into the power cap beyond whatever was cheap. Holy cow what a difference spending a few more dollars makes. This thing is great! Supplies all the power my subs need when they need it, which is really great since I don't have the room in the truck cab for a second battery and I didn't want to buy a super spendy alternator. I would highly recommend.

T-Spec 3 Farad Cap

So far this is the one component I haven't had some type of problem with. Been in use for several weeks now and I haven't noticed any symptoms of reduced voltage like headlight dips. Person that helped me install the power amp said he had never seen a cap charge up so fast as this one.

Pros:Appears to be performing it's purpose successfully. The only component I haven't had an issue with so far.

T-Spec Capacitor

Received it with manufacturer packaging old and falling apart. No glue to keep plastic window in place and would've been a good product I think. Bulb was shattered upon arrival. Crutchfield handled my return great and got a full refund.

Decent

My headlights still dimmed, however I had a 1 farad cap on earlier which would drain and shut off my amp, so I had to upgrade to the 3 farad, no longer turned off, so that's a plus. I recently blew my inline fuse however so that's where I'm at now

Features

Overview: This T-Spec v8-series digital capacitor will improve the
performance of your car's electrical system by acting as a buffer between the
alternator and your amplifier. Stored energy from your car's electrical system
is held in the cap and quickly released to the amplifier when needed. High current demand occurs when the music you are playing contains a loud, transient, deep bass signal.

Capacitance: This T-Spec v8-series digital capacitor has a rating of
3.0 farads. While you can never have too much capacitance, it is recommended that you use a capacitor with a minimum of 1 Farad for each 1000 watts of amplifier power.

Distribution Top: The capacitor features an impact-resistant polycarbonate distribution top with two 4
AWG positions on the positive (+) side and two 4 AWG positions on the negative
(-) side. You can use 4 AWG or 8 AWG wire when wiring the capacitor into your system. The power/ground wire connections have set-screw terminals that can be
tightened/loosened with the supplied 5mm Allen wrench.

Voltage Meter: This capacitor has a digital voltage meter on the top
to help you monitor your electrical system's performance.

Reverse Polarity Protection: If the capacitor is wired
incorrectly, you can damage your equipment or electrical system. To prevent
this, the capacitor has an internal relay system which disables the capacitor
and triggers a buzzer to sound.

Resistor Bulb: The capacitor comes with a resistor bulb
which is used when initially charging the capacitor, and to discharge the
capacitor when removing it from the system. You should keep the resistor bulb in
a safe storage location when not in use.

Mounting System: The cap comes with a simple mounting system that lets
you mount the unit vertically or horizontally, using the four supplied
self-tapping screws.
